The visible condenser module of this scheme includes a primary condensation bin 11, a plurality of condensation tubes 3, an intermediate condensation bin 21 and a drainage bin 12, one end of the plurality of condensation tubes 3 are all connected to the intermediate condensation bin 21, the other end of some condensation tubes 3 are connected to the primary condensation bin 11, and the other end of another part of the condensation tubes 3 is connected to the drainage bin 12, the primary condensation bin 11 is provided with a steam inlet 111, the drainage bin 12 is provided with a drainage port 121, and at least one of the primary condensation bin 11, the intermediate condensation bin 21 and the drainage bin 12 is provided with a visible window. The excess steam generated by the steam oven enters the primary condensation bin 11 from the steam inlet 111 for preliminary condensation, then enters some condensation tubes 3 for condensation and discharges to the intermediate condensation bin 21, then enters another part of the condensation tubes 3 to be discharged to the drainage bin 12, and finally is discharged from the drainage port 121. By adopting such a design, by adding a visual window in the condenser module, the visual window can more effectively observe the blockage of condensate so as to clean it in time, thereby ensuring that the visual condenser module is in good use condition.

[0029] Furthermore, a first visual window 112 is provided on the primary condensation chamber 11, a second visual window 211 is provided on the intermediate condensation chamber 21, and a third visual window 122 is provided in the drainage chamber 12.

[0032] There are two second visual windows 211, one of which corresponds to the condensation pipe 3 connected to the primary condensation chamber 11, and the other second visual window 211 corresponds to the condensation pipe 3 connected to the drainage chamber 12. It can be understood that there can also be one second visual window 211, which is not limited here.

[0033] In some embodiments, the condenser tube 3 and the drain port 121 are respectively located on both sides of the drain chamber 12, and the third visual window 122 is located at the top of the drain chamber 12. With such a design, since the condenser tube 3 and the drain port 121 are arranged relative to each other, it is convenient for gas or liquid to flow between the drain port 121, the condenser tube 3 and the drain chamber 12. In addition, the third visual window 122 is located at the top of the drain chamber 12, and it is possible to observe through the first visual window 112 whether the inside of the drain chamber 12 and the end of the condenser tube 3 are blocked by condensate.

[0034] In some embodiments, in order to form the above-mentioned primary condensation chamber 11, intermediate condensation chamber 21 and drainage chamber 12, the visible condenser module also includes a hollow first shell 1, a hollow second shell 2 and two side plates 4, the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are arranged at intervals, wherein one side plate 4 covers one end of the first shell 1 and the second shell 2, and the other side plate 4 covers the other end of the first shell 1 and the second shell 2, the first shell 1 is separated to form a primary condensation chamber 11 and a drainage chamber 12, and an intermediate condensation chamber 21 is formed on the second shell 2.

[0035] In some embodiments, in order to improve the condensation effect of the condenser tube 3, the visible condenser module also includes a heat sink 5, which is arranged on the outer wall surface of the condenser tube 3 to increase the heat dissipation area and improve the heat dissipation effect of the visible condenser module.

[0036] Furthermore, the condenser tube 3 is a capillary flat tube, and the heat sink 5 is a plurality of groups, with a group of heat sink 5 being provided between each two adjacent condenser tubes 3. With such a design, the capillary flat tube can increase the contact area between the condenser tube 3 and the heat sink 5, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0037] The utility model provides a steam oven, which is provided with a visual condenser module including a primary condensation bin 11, a plurality of condensation tubes 3, an intermediate condensation bin 21 and a drainage bin 12. One end of the plurality of condensation tubes 3 is connected to the intermediate condensation bin 21, the other end of some condensation tubes 3 is connected to the primary condensation bin 11, and the other end of another part of the condensation tubes 3 is connected to the drainage bin 12. The primary condensation bin 11 is provided with a steam inlet 111, and the drainage bin 12 is provided with a drainage outlet 121. At least one of the primary condensation bin 11, the intermediate condensation bin 21 and the drainage bin 12 is provided with a visual window. The excess steam generated by the steam oven enters the primary condensation bin 11 from the steam inlet 111 for preliminary condensation, then enters some condensation tubes 3 for condensation and discharges to the intermediate condensation bin 21, then enters another part of the condensation tubes 3 for discharge to the drainage bin 12, and finally discharges from the drainage outlet 121. With such a design, by adding a visual window in the condenser module, the visual window can more effectively observe the blockage of the condensate so as to clean it in time, thereby ensuring that the visual condenser module has a good use condition.
